I-ATR ngumvelisi ohamba phambili kwihlabathi jikelele weenqwelo-moya ze-turboprop zengingqi, inkampani esebenzisana neFranco-Italian yi-Airbus kunye neLeonardo. Ukusukela oko yasekwa ngo-1981, i-ATR ihambise iinqwelo-moya zayo kwiinqwelo-moya ezimalunga nama-200 kumazwe angaphezu kwe-100, ibonelela ngamakhonkco omoya abalulekileyo adibanisa uluntu olukude neendawo ezinkulu. Le nkampani izakhele igama layo ngokuvelisa izinto ezintsha rhoqo, uyilo olusebenzisa ipetroli kakuhle, kunye nokugxila kakhulu kwindalo esingqongileyo okujolise ekwenzeni iinqwelo-moya zengingqi zihlale ixesha elide.
Utshintsho kuQhagamshelwano loPhapho lweNgingqi
Usapho lweenqwelomoya ze-ATR (i-ATR 42 kunye ne-ATR 72) yenzelwe injongo yothungelwano lwengingqi, inikezela ngezihlalo ezingama-40 ukuya kwezingama-78 kulungelelwaniso oluphezulu lwamaphiko, i-twin-propeller elungiselelwe ukusebenza ngokufutshane. Umvelisi ude waphuhlisa isithuthi esizinikeleyo (i-ATR 72-600F) ukuxhasa uqhagamshelo lwempahla yengingqi, igxininisa indlela yayo entsha yokunikezela ngeemfuno ezahlukeneyo zemarike. Ngombulelo kuyilo oluguquguqukayo kunye nohlaziyo lwetekhnoloji, iinqwelomoya ze-ATR zinceda ukusungula ngaphezulu kwekhulu leendlela ezintsha zengingqi minyaka le, zidibanisa izixeko eziziisekondari, iziqithi, kunye nemimandla yeentaba ngeenkonzo ezibalulekileyo. Lo mbono umanyanisayo wokukhawulezisa unxibelelwano oluzinzileyo uqhuba i-ethos entsha ye-ATR, iqinisekisa ukuba akukho luntu lushiywe ngasemva ekufikeleleni kwizithuthi zomoya.
Ukusebenza ngokufanelekileyo kweTurboprop
Ukusebenza kakuhle yeyona nto iphambili kuyilo lweenqwelo moya ze-ATR. Iinjini ze-turboprop zisebenza kakuhle kwiindlela ezimfutshane kuneenjini zejethi, kwaye i-ATR 72-600 itshisa amafutha angaphantsi ngama-45% ngohambo ngalunye kunejethi yengingqi efanayo. Oku kuthetha ukuba i-CO₂ ekhutshwayo iphantsi ngama-45% , nto leyo ebangela iindleko kunye neenzuzo zokusingqongileyo. Uqoqosho oluphezulu lwamafutha kunye neendleko zokusebenza eziphantsi ze-ATR turboprops zenza kube lula ukuba iinkampani zeenqwelo moya zikhonze iindlela "ezincinci" (iicandelo ezimfutshane, ezingafunekiyo kakhulu) ezingenakufikeleleka kwaye zingabi naxabiso kwiijethi. Enyanisweni, izikhululo zeenqwelo moya ezininzi ezikude okanye ezingafumani nkonzo ingako zinenkonzo yomoya kuphela kuba ii-turboprops ezifana ne-ATR zinokusebenza ngenzuzo kwezi candelo zimfutshane. I-ATR iyaqhubeka nokuphucula ukusebenza kakuhle ngokusebenzisa ubuchule: iinjini zayo zamva nje zePratt & Whitney Canada PW127XT, ezaziswa ngo-2022, zibonelela ubuncinane ngokunciphisa okungaphezulu kwe-3% ekutshisweni kwamafutha kunye neendleko zokugcina eziphantsi ngama-20% xa kuthelekiswa neemodeli zangaphambili. Olu phuculo luqinisa isikhundla se-ATR njengomvelisi weenqwelo-moya zengingqi ezisebenzisa ipetroli kakuhle nezikhupha ukungcola okuncinci kwimarike.
UbuNkokheli bokuSingqongileyo kunye noPhapho oluZinzileyo
I-ATR ibinguvulindlela ekwamkeleni iSustainable Aviation Fuel, njengoko kuboniswe yile nombolo "ye-100% SAF" kwinjini ye-ATR 72-600. Ngowama-2022, i-ATR 72-600 yaba yinqwelo-moya yokuqala yorhwebo yengingqi ukubhabha nge- 100% yepetroli yeenqwelo-moya ezinzileyo kuzo zombini iinjini - inyathelo elibalulekileyo lokususa i-carbon kwiinqwelo-moya ezihamba ixesha elifutshane. I-ATR iceba ukuqinisekisa usapho lwayo olupheleleyo lweenqwelo-moya ukuba lusetyenziswe yi-100% SAF ngo-2030, xa imigangatho yepetroli yamazwe ngamazwe iyasebenza. Ukusebenzisa i-SAF kunokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwe-greenhouse cycle ukuya kuthi ga kwi -80% xa kuthelekiswa nepetroli yejethi eqhelekileyo, okubonelela ngendlela ekhawulezileyo yokunciphisa umbane wekhabhoni yeenqwelo-moya. I-ATR idibanisa ngokukhutheleyo esi sisombululo: ukusukela ngo-Agasti 2023, zonke iinqwelo-moya zayo zovavanyo lokuvelisa zibhabhe ngomxube we-30% SAF, ogcina phantse iitoni ezine zokukhutshwa kwe-CO₂ kuhambo ngalunye. Le mizamo, kunye noyilo lwe-turboprop ye-ATR olusebenza kakuhle ngokwendalo, lubonisa ukuzibophelela okucacileyo ekunciphiseni ukukhutshwa kwe-carbon kwixesha elifutshane.
Ngaphaya kwamafutha, i-ATR ichaze isicwangciso esibanzi semozulu. Le nkampani izibophelele ekufakeni isandla kwinjongo yokukhupha igesi engcolileyo kwishishini ngo-2050, kwaye iinjongo zayo zokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwegesi engcolileyo kwixesha elifutshane ziqinisekiswe yiScience Based Targets initiative (SBTi) ukuqinisekisa ukuhambelana neSivumelwano saseParis. Ukuze kufezekiswe ezi njongo, i-ATR ihlola ubuchwepheshe besizukulwana esilandelayo - umzekelo, isebenzisana nePratt & Whitney Canada ekuqhubeleni phambili umbane oxutyiweyo kwingcamango yenqwelo-moya ye-ATR "EVO" yexesha elizayo ejolise ekunciphiseni ngakumbi ukutshiswa kwegesi engcolileyo kunye nokukhutshwa kwegesi engcolileyo. Ngelixa icandelo leenqwelo-moya lilonke lijongene nomceli mngeni omkhulu wokususa igesi engcolileyo, amanyathelo e-ATR asebenzayo abonisa ukuba utshintsho oluya kwinqwelo-moya engcolileyo luyaqhubeka. Ngokugxila kubuchule, ukusebenza kakuhle, kunye nolawulo lokusingqongileyo, i-ATR inceda ukuqhuba iinqwelo-moya zengingqi kwikamva elingcono.
